Thread: Confirmation of XP Caps

I have been chatting with many in the various grind groups that I am in as I try to get a toon of my to start climbing the FS trees about the most efficient template for grinding FS. According to the majority of people in these groups it sounds as though you have a level 4 box in an elite profession you can get 1.2M Banked XP for that profession (same as a mastered Elite profession).


Is this the case (I am not to the point of grinding XP solely for FS so cannot test at the moment) or is the cap 900K as I suspect? Basically people are telling me that if I do a double mastery (TKM/Master Pike) and have level 4 boxes in Fencer and Swordsman that I can bank 5.1M XP for each trip to the village made up of the following:


  • 1.2M in TK

  • 1.2M in Pikeman

  • 1.2M in Swordsman

  • 1.2M in Fencer

  • .3M of Combat

Can anyone confirm or deny this? Is the cap 1.2M or 900k for professions that you only have a single line in (i.e. Fencer or Swordsman). Thanks in advance.

I don't think that your information is correct. I'm TKM/Master Swords and I get 1.2m xp for both of them. I don't get 1.2 for the one-handed line because I don't have anything in the Fencer tree. Same for Pikes. You could do it but you would have no room for any medic skills for healing. I'm not 100% positive but I know how my xp caps usually work.

I think what you are saying is correct for someone that has no Fencer and noSwordsmanbut the case I am looking for is the following template:



  • Teras Kasi Master (1.2M XP cap)

  • Master Pikeman (1.2M XP cap)

  • Fencer 4000 (1.2M or 900K XP cap??)

  • Swordsman 0400 (1.2M or 900K XP cap??)

I am not so concerned about getting any healing because this template's main use is going to be grinding FS which in 95% of the cases I will be doing in a spin group with plenty of healers and possibly someone else actually drawing most of the aggro.

I'm not sure if I'm answering your question but my xp cap is 1.2 mil for each TK and Pike even though I don't have a mastery in either one. It's been that way every since I completed the first lvl 4 box in the profession. So I'm sure it's the same for swords and fencer.

That answered my question more I believe. Sounds like as long as I have one line (a Level IV box in an elite) I can cap at 1.2M for that profession. The only thing that had confused me was that last night I capped at 900K while levelling TK but the only Level IV box I had at that point was the one that takes Combat XP instead of Unarmed XP so that is probably why my cap was still at 900K until I train a Level IV box that uses Unarmed.


Thanks.

In fact now that we are having this discussion I can actually do the following template that will allow me to bring 6.3M Xp to the Village on each trip.



  • Teras Kasi Master

  • Pikeman 0400

  • Swordsman 0400

  • Fencer 4000

  • Smuggler 0040

And you still have 7 skill points left over to use for something useful (or not).

Oh yes...I forgot to mentioned that my template is 2440 TK/ 0440 Pike. So yes, I the caps were increased because I trained the the branches that used them.

Wow, I though I was a dabbler!


Seriously that temp looks quite interesting.

Main issues I can see, you stats will be no where near a straight melee build, and with the lack of masteries you will be like me with a very limited selection of good weapons.



Here is my temp.

Here is your temp.

Here is a comparison

Oh one more issue, you won't be level 80...

And as someone that has 4 weapons to cap, I am considering dropping one cause that is a LOT of work between village visits, I think 5 weapons would be insane....

You'll take all the aggro. Plus people in a spin group don't care about healing, just killing. Thus not many heal. I'm a BH/MCM so I always have to heal, but my bacta spray handles that nicely, but generally The only healers are jedi in a spin group.

I'm a master BH, master Ranger getting ready to start spinning.


Can someone confirm the weapon caps on pistol, carbine and rifle for a BH with no other wep skills?

my temp is tkm/master swords 0400 pike i am able to cap 1.2 in pike just with the one tree. wish i could get some fencer then id get more exp. so yes you can get 1.2m in each weapon as long as u have one tree filled. u should be walking away with 170k FS exp if you cap them all.

I'm Master Carbineer, 4444 BH. I cap carbines at 1.2mil, obviously, but so far I cap pistol and rifle at 900K. I doubt the master BH box will change that.
